Right. That remote job search if you will, we're not talking about remote work at home. But how do I find a job say my wife and I talk a lot about Italy. How would I find a job in Italy? Yeah, I can't speak to international moves, but I can't speak to interstate moves within the US. And so I imagine it's going to be similar, obviously with international moves. You've got a whole lot of layers to get through, and I have no. Yeah. And we're permit exactly all that so into every country is different. I back many years ago, I was looking at the possibility of moving to France and looking at their requirements. I happened to find a website about how to be an illegal alien in France.
